And the same article also says

However, many experts dismiss the rulers as mythological figures and claim no kingdom ever existed

and the article does go on to make much more modest claims denying any reference to David or Solomon directly these are evidence of governance, (and that in a tiny place) nothing else.
That is likely why being an leading, respected and well know figure in biblical archaeology she dismissed these rather fanciful claims.

*emphasis mine*

That was the case previous to the discovery. Clearly they were wrong about no kingdom ever existing in that region.

Six official clay seals found by an archaeological team at a small site in Israel offer evidence that supports the existence of biblical kings David and Solomon. Many modern scholars dismiss David and Solomon as mythological figures and believe no kingdom could have existed in the region at the time the Bible recounted their activities. The new finds provide evidence that some type of government activity was conducted there in that period.

This is exactly what I mean you are turning 'some kind of government activity' into a kingdom. as the article Min posted to you, but you dismissed as 'hateful' it could mean anything. David and Solomon definitely are not mentioned in the evidence.

And of course many experts to this day as you can see are unimpressed.
